REPORT 

OF THE 

MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 



The report of the Committee on Manual Training, issued in 
December, 1897, contained the course of study and a detailed 
account of the Mechanic Arts High School, but unfortunately 
the edition was so small that it was exhausted in a few weeks. 
To meet the constantly increasing demand for the information 
which "that report furnished, the Committee on Manual Train- 
ing has decided to reproduce the substance of it, with such 
additions and changes as are required to give a clear idea of the 
school at the present time. 

Valuable additions to the school system of a great city are 
necessarily made slowly. Those who have patiently labored for 
the establishment of the Mechanic Arts High School, anxiously 
watched its development, and struggled to advance its interests, 
bave now the satisfaction of noting results which abundantly 
justify their efforts. 

The initial step toward the establishment of this institu- 
tion, which now stands at the head of the system of manual 
training in the public schools of Boston, was taken as early 
as 1883. In his annual report for that year the Superin- 
tendent of Public Schools, Mr. Edwin P. Seaver, j^resented 
a comprehensive statement of the arguments in favor of 
industrial education, submitted a tentative plan for instruc- 
tion in tool work, and called attention to rooms in the Latin 
and English High School building that were available for 
the experiment. Subsequent events have shown that the 
suggestions in this report were wise and far-sighted; but its 
only immediate effect was to arouse public interest in an 
important educational factor that had previously received 
little attention. Six years later Mr. Seaver renewed his 
recommendation in his annual report, and after an extended 
tour of investigation, in which he made a careful study of 
the principal manual training schools of the country, pre- 
sented a special report accompanied by a detailed plan for a 



4 REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 

Mechanic Arts High School in Boston. Much of the inter- 
est in manual training which now exists in all parts of the 
country is due to the influence of that report; but many 
circumstances combined to delay the adoption of its specific 
recommendations. It was not until September, 1893, that 
the school was opened, and the equipment of the first wood- 
working room was not ready for use until the following 
March. 

There were then no schools of this class that could safely be 
taken as models. At the outset the requirenients of manufac- 
turing establishments rather than the essential conditions of 
successful school work exerted a dominating influence, and as a 
consequence, many details of the original conception both of 
the building and equipment required modification in the light 
of experience. The necessary changes, however, have not in- 
volved large expenditures. Fortunately the north wing was 
not built with the main structure, and opportunity was given 
to adapt the plans for it to the needs which had become 
evident. This wing, completed during the school year 1899- 
1900, in connection with the improvements and readjustments 
made in the main building, has greatly increased the efliciency 
of the school in all departments, and nearly doubled its work- 
ing capacity. 

The following exhibit of attendance shows that the increased 
accommodations were imperatively demanded:

It is important that the distinctive character and purpose of 
the school should be clearly apprehended. It is neither a trade 
school, nor an institution peculiarly adapted to pupils of any

particular class or social condition. Its jurisdiction is the 
entire city of Boston, and its splendid opportunities are freely 
offered to the sons of all citizens. Its special function is to fur- 
nish systematic instruction in drawing, and the elements of the 
mechanic arts, in addition to a thorough high school course in 
which mathematical and scientific branches predominate. The 
training which it gives is not less valuable to a boy who is to 
become a lawyer or a physician than to one who is to superin- 
tend a manufacturing establishment, or work at the bench. The 
many-sided activities of the school tend to reveal to boys their 
dominant powers and aptitudes, and lead them to a happy choice 
of occupation. It educates them not primarily to become 
mechanics, but to become men of intelligence and skill. It en- 
courages industry, arouses ambition, and opens wide the avenues 
to success, usefulness and happiness. In an age characterized 
by a marvellous development of industries based upon scientific 
and mechanical principles, when manual dexterity and a knowl- 
edge of mechanical processes are essential to success in number- 
less profitable employments, it is unnecessary to point out the 
great value of an institution which combines a good high school 
education with systematic training in the mechanic arts. 

The school is located in the Back Bay District, at the corner 
of Belvidere and Dalton streets. In its main features the 
building is admirably adapted to the purposes for which it was 
designed. A convenient assembly hall and a gymnasium are 
the only important features which are lacking. The rooms 
are large and well lighted, and peculiarly attractive on account 
of their evident fitness for their specific uses. The rooms in 
which machinery is run are separated from the rest of the build- 
ing by heavy double brick partitions on each side of a stairway. 
The ceilings of the school-rooms are plastered with King's 
Windsor cement, which effectually prevents the transmission of 
sound from floor to floor. In the shpps the mill construction 
prevails, and the ceilings are finished with embossed sheet steel. 
The tint chosen for the steel ceilings and the brick walls of the 
rooms and corridors is agreeable to the eye, and adapted to 
diffuse light freely. Adequate provision has been made for 
heating and ventilation by approved modern methods. The 
cost of site, building, and equipment has been about $310,000. 



10 REPOET OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 

In the basement (Plate II.) are the boiler-room, coal-room, 
engine-room, engineer's store-room, the janitor's room, and the 
hicycle-room. Here, also, are the principal toilet-rooms, and 
dressing rooms, containing 258 clothes lockers, each fitted with 
a combination lock, and adapted to accommodate two boys. 
Each of these lockers is 23 by 18 ins. in plan, and 5 feet high. 
The floors, and the upper panel of each door, are of stout wire 
netting. In one of these rooms is the lunch counter. 

On the first floor (Plate III.) are the ofiice of the head mas- 
ter, with a lobby for visitors and a library adjoining, the chem- 
ical laboratory and the room for chemical stores, two school 
rooms, one of which accommodates eighty pupils, and the other 
ninety-six, three recitation rooms, the machine shop, the tool- 
room for metal-working tools, a storage room for metal stock, 
an office for the instructors in metal work, and a private room 
for men teachers. 

On the second floor (Plate IV.) are the physical laboratory 
with a teacher's laboratory, a storage room for apparatus, and a 
dark room adjoining, a private room for women teachers, two 
school rooms identical with those on the first floor, two wood- 
working rooms for first year pupils, the carpentry tool-room, 
the room for the preparation of stock for exercises in wood- 
working, and the finishing room, 

On the third floor (Plate V.) are two school rooms identical 
with those on the first floor, a small school room which accom- 
modates thirty pupils, two drawing rooms, a storage room for 
drawing materials, a wood-turning and pattern-making room, a 
modeling room, and a toilet-room. The two large school rooms 
are separated by flexible doors so that they may be thrown 
together to furnish an assembly hall for occasional use. 

DRAWING. 

Each of the two drawing rooms (Plate V.) has accommoda- 
tions for six classes of thirty-six pupils. The drawing tables 
(Fig. 1) provide conveniently for the storage of all materials 
used in class exercises ; consequently pupils obtain the articles 
needed at the beginning of the lesson, and restore them to their 
proper places at its close, with little loss of time. Each table 
is fitted with a locker, which holds six half imperial (17 by 24 



REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL.

ins.) drawing boards. The six individual drawers on the right 
contain the note books, pencils, needle points, erasers, etc., the 
personal property of each pupil. The following instruments 
are supplied to each table, and are used in common by members 
of different classes. With the exception of the T square, they 
are stored in the drawer over the locker.

blackboards (54 by 83 ins.) placed one directly in front of 
another, each counterbalanced by weights. In the rear of the 
larger room are the device for exposing blue-prints to the sun- 
light, and the sink and racks for washing and drying them. 

CAEPENTEY AND WOOD-CAEVING. 

Two adjoining rooms on the second floor (Plates TV., VI.) 
are assigned to the department of wood-working with hand 
tools. This department is equij^ped to accommodate daily six 
classes of thirty-six puj)ils. Each room is furnished with 
eighteen double benches, 57 ins. long, 45 ins. wide on the top, 
and varying in height from 29 to 33 ins. On each side of these 
benches is a tier of three drawers, one of which is assigned to 
each pupil, for the set of cutting tools with which he is supplied. 
Here, also, are kept his apron and unfinished work. Upon a 
vertical tool board 9J ins. high which divides the top of the 
bench in the centre, and upon hooks and shelves at the ends of 
the bench, are kept the following measuring and , miscellaneous 
tools used in common by members of different classes : 

Stanley Rule and Level Co.'s tools: one each, T bevel, 10 in., Xo. 18; 
rule, 2 ft., No 18; try-square, 6 in., No. 10. A Buck Brothers screw-

REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 13 

These trays are stored in cases at one end of each room. 
Two Brown and Sharpe grindstone troughs, fitted with stones 
and truing devices, are installed in one of these rooms. Water 
is brought in brass pipes to all of the grindstones in the various 
departments, and the troughs are connected with a system of 
drain pipes which lead to a sand catch-basin in the basement. 

The tool-room, which contains a variety of minor supplies, 
together with a large collection of miscellaneous tools for 
occasional use, is located between the two wood-working rooms, 
and is conveniently entered from either of them. Many of the 
shelves in this room are divided by narrow strips of wood in 
such a way that each tool has its appropriate compartment, and 
it is an invariable rule that every article must be kept in its 
proper place. Each pupil is supplied with three brass checks 
bearing his shop number, one of which will be received by the 
jDcrson in charge of the tool-room in exchange for any desired 
tool. The check is placed in the compartment from which the 
tool is taken, where it remains until it is redeemed by the 
return of the tool. The following are the principal tools in 
this tool-room : 

Bailey's patent adjustable iron planes : 4 beading, No. 50 ; 2 dado, 
fillester, plow, etc., No. 46 ; 1 tonguing and grooving, No. 48 ; 1 tonguing

Opening out of one. of the wood- working rooms is a small 
room for the preparation of stock for models and for special 
saw work. Here are installed a Colburn double-arbor bench 
saw, and a Dover band saw for the use of the instructors and 
especially skilful pupils only, and a Moseley jig-saw which all 
the pupils are taught to use. The location of these saws in a 
separate room permits their use without disturbance to class 
exercises. An adjoining room is furnished with convenient 
tables and other fixtures for the final work upon all models or 
projects which require shellac or other painter's finish. 

WOOD-TUENING AND PATTEEN-MAKING. 

In the wood-turning and pattern-making room (Plates V., 
VII., YIII.) there are thirty-six benches. On one side of the 
bench (Fig. 2) is a Putnam 11-in. speed lathe, the other side is 
used for work with hand tools. As in the other wood- working 
rooms, these benches are fitted with 9-in. Wyman & Gordon 
quick-action vises. 

■ Beneath the lathe is a tier of three drawers, each containing 
a set of turning tools. On the opposite side, under the work 
bench, is a tier of four drawers. The top drawer in this tier is 
devoted to the measuring and miscellaneous tools iised in com- 
mon by members of different classes, while each of the three 
others contains an individual set of cutting tools. 

Individual turning tools :

Conveniently located in the centre of the room are two 
grindstones, and an 8-ft. Putnam pattern-makers' lathe, which 
with open slide, is capable of doing work 36 ins. in diameter. 



16 KEPOET OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 

This lathe is fitted with the most approved devices for doing all 
kinds of work, and is designed to be used only by instructors 
and by pupils who develop special skill and demonstrate their 
ability to do a high order of work. Near at hand is a small 
tool-room which contains a large variety of minor supplies, and 
all miscellaneous tools likely to be needed. The loft above this 
room furnishes adequate storage for a year's supply of lumber. 

In one corner of each of the three wood-working rooms is an 
amphitheatre in which the entire class may be seated so that 
each member can see plainly the work done by the instructor at 
the demonstration bench. The space behind the amphitheatre 
has been utilized to provide a convenient place for sinks and 
mirrors. A coj)per tank containing four glue pots heated by 
steam is installed in each wood-working room. Large cases are 
provided for the convenient storage of prepared stock and 
finished work. 

The frames of drawing tables and work benches, and all ex- 
posed parts of tables, benches, and cases, are ash ; the sides of 
drawers, interior of cases, and tops of drawing tables are white 
pine ; the tops of work benches are of narrow strips of maple 
glued together to prevent warping. All drawers and compart- 
ments of cases are fitted with locks, no two of which have the 
same combination, but all are operated by a master key. The 
tables and benches have been constructed in the most thorough 
and substantial manner, and no pains have been spared to make 
every part of the equipment illustrate excellence of design and 
workmanship. 

FORGING. 

The forge-shop (Plates II., IX.) is a one story brick struc- 
ture 93 ft. long and 41 ft. wide, which occupies the entire space 
between the two wings at the rear of the main building. It is 
lighted both by windows in the wall and by a large monitor 
with sky-light. Its relation to the main building is such that 
the noise incident to the work causes no disturbance in the 
class rooms. It is equipped with B. F. Sturtevant Company's 
new down draft forges, and all necessary appliances for the 
instruction of three classes, daily, each containing thirty-six 
pupils. The equipment of each forge is as follows : 

A set of blacksmith's tongs (groove in jaw) for holding iron |^, ^, f, ^, 
I ins. ; tool tongs for | in. square iron ; square groove tongs for iron,

Upon a post conveniently located with reference to each of 
these forges is an Eagle anvil weighing 130 lbs., near which is 
placed a tool bench (Fig. 3) supplied with the following tools :

boy for the storage of the models which he has completed, or 
on which he is engaged. Each of these individual drawers is 
furnished with a 1|- lb. ball peen hand hammer. Fourteen 
blacksmiths' vises and one combination pipe vise are attached 
to benches firmly secured to the brick floor in convenient loca- 
tions. Stock cut in pieces of the length required for the 
various exercises is stored in compartments in these benches. 
Fans of ample size produce blast for the forges, and carry away 
the foul air and products of combustion. 

In one corner of the room is a raised platform on which 
thirty-six arm chairs are placed for the use of pupils during the 
demonstration lessons. The instructor's forge, located in front 
of this platform, is supplied with a Root hand blower for use 
when the engine is not running. Near this platform are two 
cases, one designed for the storage of blue-prints and miscella- 
neous supplies, and the other for prepared stock. The upper 
portion of the stock case is provided with glass doors, and is 
adapted to receive a series of models, made by the instructor, 
designed to show both the finished product and the important 
steps to be considered in making the model. A 75-lb. Laird 
and Sweeney power hammer, a New Doty Manufacturing Com- 
pany's No. 7A power shear, a Goddard No. 3 drill press, an 
automatic drop press (Mossberg & Granville Company's pattern) 
built by pupils in 1899-1900, an emery grinder, a bolt heading 
machine, and numerous miscellaneous tools complete the 
equipment. 

MACHINE SHOP PKACTICE. 

The machine shop (Plates III., XI.) is equipped for classes 
of twenty-four pupils. The benches, 20 in. wide and from 32 
to 86 in. high, which extend along three sides of this room are 
divided into twenty-four sections, each provided with a vise and 
a tier of four drawers one of which is assigned to each pupil. 
In this drawer the boy stores the work upon which he is en- 
gaged, together with about a dozen files and a set of chisels and 
lathe tools. Four additional pupils can be accommodated, in 
emergencies, at a less convenient bench located on the west 
side of the room. 

At the beginning of a lesson each pupil obtains from the

Each engine lathe is furnished with a tool board of special 
design, adapted to receive the tool-tray, and to provide a con- 
venient place for ciitting and miscellaneous tools. 

Upon pegs in a vertical board fastened under the bed of each 
lathe are kept the face plates, change gears, back rest, chuck 
drill rest, and a set of dogs, •^, f, 1, 1^, and 2 ins. There is no 
available space for an amphitheatre similar to those in the wood- 
working department. During the demonstration lessons pupils 
occupy tablet arm chairs grouped about the instructor's bench, 
which is placed in front of a large blackboard in the rear of the 
room. Near at hand is the tool-room, furnished with shelves 
and cases for the numerous tools required for the various kinds

of woi'k. One of these cases, which stands near the door, con- 
tains the small tools likely to be needed frequently, and the tool- 
trays previously mentioned. An attendant delivers these trays 
to the pupils at the beginning of the lesson, and is always ready 
to furnish any desired tool in exchange for a pupil's check. 

The universal tool and cutter grinder and the power hack-saw 
are located in this room.

The stock-room (Plate III.) is furnished with shelves, com- 
partments, and racks adapted to provide convenient storage for 
the many varieties of supplies, castings, and prepared metal 
stock that are needed hy the classes. No pains have been 
spared to provide a convenient place for all of the numerous 
articles used in every department of the school, and it is an 
invariable rule that every article must be kept in its proper 
place. It is deemed as important to establish ordei-ly habits as 
to teach mechanical principles. 

COURSE OF STUDY, AIMS, AND METHODS. 

Any boy who has been graduated from a Boston grammar 
school is entitled to admission to the Mechanic Arts High 
School without examination. All other candidates must pass 
the examination for admission to high schools set by the Board 
of Supervisors. 

It is probable that a limited number of non-resident pupils 
can be admitted. Applications for admission by non-residents 
are received with the understanding that preference will be 
given to graduates of Boston grammar schools, whenever the 
limit of accommodations is reached. The tuition of non-resident 
pupils varies slightly from year to year, but is likely to be 
about $85 per annum. 'The outline course of study (page 58), 
and the analysis which follows, will give a tolerably clear idea 
of the character and scope of the work at present pui-sued. 
Although its main features are fully established, the course is 
still regarded as provisional, and minor changes will be made 
at any time to meet varying conditions. To enable the largest 



REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 23 

number of pupils to enjoy the advantages of the school, it is 
necessary that each division should contain the maximum num- 
ber for which the shops and drawing rooms are equipped. 
This need of keeping the entire equipment of the mechanical 
departments in constant use places an important limitation 
upon the number of elective subjects which can be offered. 

In general, the subjects of study during the first three years 
are the same for all, but the amount of work required in each 
subject is proi:)ortioned to the varying degrees of ability dis- 
played by the pujiils. The classes are divided and the work 
arranged so that no one will be taxed beyond his power, while 
those who work rapidly receive the stimulus of demands calcu- 
lated to call forth their best efforts. The amount of work 
accomplished is deemed relatively unimportant in comparison 
with the mastery of correct methods and the formation of good 
habits. Moreover, no pains are spared to adapt the coitrse to 
the special needs of individuals so that no faithful pupil who 
makes a good record in most subjects is compelled to waste 
time upon a stxidy for which he has no native aptitude. 

The course has been arranged with reference, primarily, to 
the needs of boys whose school life is to end with the high 
school, but fortunately this course offers excellent preparation 
for the higher scientific schools. The thorough training in 
shop work and drawing enables pupils who enter such higher 
institutions as the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard Uni- 
versity, or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to 
anticipate equivalent work in those institutions, and thus gain 
valuable time for advanced courses. Diplomas are awarded at 
the end of the third year, and also at the end of the fourth year 
of the course. The work of the fourth year enables good 
students to anticipate not only courses in shop work and draw- 
ing, but also several of the courses prescribed for the first year 
in the higher scientific schools. All who intend to enter those 
schools will find it much to their advantage to complete the 
fourth year. 

Numerous inquiries concerning the school have been made 
by parents who are anxious to give their sons the advantages of 
a thorough course in manual training, but who also desire to 
have them begin Latin, when they enter the high school, as a 



24 REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 

part of their course in preparation for college. If such appli- 
cations should be received in sufficient number to justify the 
formation of special classes, the question of making Latin an 
elective subject throughout the course will be seriously consid- 
ered. It may prove practicable to arrange a program that 
will enable boys to take three years of college preparatory 
work in the Mechanic Arts High School in connection with a 
substantial course in shop work and drawing, and complete 
their preparation for college in the Public Latin School. 

It is the aim of the mechanical departments to teach in a 
thorough and systematic way the elements of carpentry, joinery, 
wood-carving, wood-turning, pattern-making, forging of iron 
and steel, chipping, filing, fitting, and machine-tool work. For 
each department a carefully graded series of models has been 
chosen, the construction of which illustrates every fundamental 
principle or process. The models in the primary series are 
made by all the members of a class. Running parallel with the 
primary series is a set of supplementary models that involve 
the application of principles already learned to more difficult 
work. The supplementary exercises are undertaken only by 
those who are capable of doing more than the regular work of 
the class. This arrangement makes it practicable to adapt the 
rate of movement of the class to the needs of j)upils of fair 
ability, while the more rapid and skilful workers emj^loy their 
spare time upon interesting exercises that demand their best 
efforts. The work is planned so as to require the exercise of 
judgment, thought, and care. Since ■ the educational value of 
shop exercises depends largely upon the amount of careful 
thought which they develop, no tasks are repeated merely for 
the sake of gaining facility ; as soon as the difficulties of a 
given process have been fairly mastered a new problem is 
substituted. 

Boys of good ability do, however, acquire considerable skill, 
for the construction of each new model involves some repetition 
of the processes which preceding ones were specially designed 
to illustrate. The models recently made by many boys will 
bear close inspection, and are not unworthy to be compared 
with the products of expert workmen. 

No special emphasis is placed upon the value of the particu- 



KEPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 25 

lar models that have been chosen, for the model is of little con- 
sequence in comparison with the instruction given concerning 
it, the manner in which it is made by the pupil, and the spirit 
which dominates the work. Changes will be made whenever it 
is discovered that added interest, or a firmer grasp of an impor- 
tant principle, can be secured by substituting a new model for 
any one in the series. It is, however, regarded of supreme 
importance that no principle or method shall be taught that 
does not embody the best practice of skilled artisans. While 
the primary purpose of the school is to secure the harmonious 
development of all the powers of the pupil, without special 
reference to vocational ends, the fact is not overlooked that the 
manual dexterity and knowledge of mechanical principles ac- 
quired at school will be, for many boys, the immediate stepping- 
stones to profitable employment. Moreover, many graduates of 
the school will continue their studies in higher institutions, and 
ultimately, as architects, engineers, or superintendents, direct 
the work of other men engaged in mechanical pursuits. The 
character and value of their supervision will depend largely 
upon the impressions received at school. It is highly impor- 
tant, therefore, that no boy should learn theories or methods 
not in accord with the best practice established by experience. 

An important factor in the scheme of instruction in the 
mechanical departments is the final formal inspection of models 
by the class. The pupils are seated in the amphitheatre, and 
each places on the shelf before him his model and all needed 
measuring and testing tools. The instructor then calls atten- 
tion to the excellences and defects of a typical model, indicates 
the angles and surfaces to be tested and the dimensions to be 
verified, points out mistakes likely to be made, explains and 
illustrates at the bench methods by which common errors can 
be avoided, and determines the number of credits to be given 
for each element of the model that is perfect within assigned 
limits. Each pupil then carefully examines and tests his own 
model and returns it, with a systematic record of his investiga- 
tion, to the instructor, who verifies the record at his leisure. 
This method serves to develop the power to form correct judg- 
ments concerning the essential elements of perfect work, 
exposes shams, stimulates pride in worthy achievement, deepens 



26 EEPOKT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 

respect for a high order of mechanical skill, and demonstrates 
that success is impossible without mental alertness, patience, 
foresight, deftness, and unceasing care. 

The distinction between a manual-training high school and a 
trade school should not be overlooked. A trade school aims to 
teach thoroughly any one of many trades as rapidly as the 
student's ability will permit. No instruction is given that does 
not bear directly upon the chosen trade. Obviously the choice 
of occupation must be made on entering the school. If experi- 
ence demonstrates that the choice is unfortunate, a change nec- 
essarily involves considerable loss of time. If a boy begins to 
learn the carpenter's trade and discovers, after a time, that he 
has special aptitudes for sign-painting, the time spent at the 
bench will not shorten the period required to acquire skill with 
the brush. The functions of a trade school are strictly special ; 
general education does not fall within its scope. 

The manual-training school, on the contrary, teaches the 
elements of mechanic arts primarily on account of their educa- 
tional value, just as arithmetic and geometry are taught. It 
does not have vocational ends directly in view, but the manual 
dexterity and the knowledge of tools, materials, drafting, and 
methods of construction acquired at school serve to advance 
boys many stages toward the mastery of any trade. The com- 
bined experiences of the class-rooms and the w^ork-shops enable 
boys to form correct judgments concerning their fitness for a 
given employment. Moreover, their elementary but systematic 
knowledge of the entire field of mechanic arts gives them the 
same advantage in dealing with the difiicult problems of any 
trade that a liberal education gives to the student of law or 
medicine. Experience has shown that a large percentage of 
the graduates of manual-training high schools readily find em- 
ployment in desirable positions in which their mechanical train- 
ing proves of very great service. 

The Mechanic Arts High School will prolong the school life 
of many boys who would not attend the ordinary high school, 
by offering an attractive course of study, highly practical in 
character, calculated to reveal to them their native aptitudes and 
possibilities, lead them to a happy choice of occupation, and fit 
them to grapple more successfully with the problems of life. 



KEPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 27 

Moreover, the school is sure to arouse in many boys an ambition 
to continue their studies in a higher institvition, and it offers the 
best possible preparation for the higher scientific and technical 
schools ; for the manual dexterity and the thorough knowledge 
of tools, machinery, and mechanical processes acquired in the 
stops, at an age when time can be most easily spared for such 
training, is of priceless value in any scientific pursuit. The 
shop exercises make great demands for patience, perseverance, 
and painstaking care, and stimulate a high order of mental 
activity. The school will encourage every noble endeavor, 
foster every worthy ambition, insist upon high standards of 
attainment in study and of perfection in mechanical work, cul- 
tivate self-control, kindness, politeness, and manliness, and 
deepen respect for honest toil. It already gives encouraging 
assurance that it will justify the expenditure made in its behalf, 
by enriching the Commonwealth with men whose brains and 
hearts and hands have been trained to efficient service.

ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT. 

The main purpose of the mathematical course is to train 
pupils to habits of accuracy in thought and expression, and to 
give them clear notions of the value and convenience of mathe- 
matical processes in the investigation of practical problems. 

The study of algebra extends through two years. The first 
year's work has special reference to the attainment of profi- 
ciency in the more important processes, and extends through 
simultaneous quadratics. The second year's work is a review 
of the work of the preceding year, and extends through pro- 
gressions. Algebraic methods are employed in the solution of 
such problems as are met with in the study of the j)hysical 
sciences, and in the mechanical departments of the school. 

During the second year the subject of plane geometry is com- 
j)leted. The first half of the third year is devoted to the 
jDrinciples of solid geometry and to numerous exercises illustra- 
ting and enforcing them, while the remainder of the year is 
given to plane trigonometry and reviews. 

The work of this year in trigonometry is designed to faniiliar- 
ize the student with the fundamental principles and formulae. 
The subject is continued in the fourth year with special refer- 
ence to its application to problems in surveying, navigation, 
and physical science. Considerable attention is given to the 
transformation of trigonometric expressions and the solution of 
equations. 

The course in history for the first year consists of a rapid 
survey of the history of Greece and Rome, followed by a study 
of the History of England, with special reference to its influ- 
ence upon the Colonial Period in America. The study of the 
political history of the United States during the second year is 
designed to fix in the mind the causes and results of important 
historical movements. The work is adapted to trace clearly the 
growth of the principles of free self-government in England 
and their development when transplanted into America; to 
give clear notions of the character and functions of the colonial 
government, and of the Municipal, State, and Federal govern- 
ments of the present day. 



30 EEPORT OF MECHANIC AETS HIGH SCHOOL. 

The distinguishing feature of the work in English is the 
emphasis placed upon practice in writing and speaking cor- 
rectly. Much importance is attached to writing based on the 
pupil's daily experience. The purpose of this course is to give 
facility in the correct use of the language, and to cultivate a 
taste for good literature. The books read during the last three 
years are largely determined by the requirements for admission 
to New England colleges. The careful study of the authors 
read serves to awaken a genuine interest in literature, to raise 
the standard of reading and thinking, and to improve the liter- 
ary taste. This work in literature is supplemented by exercises 
whose merits, rather than defects, are emphasized for improving 
the style of expression. 

The course in French is intended to enable pupils to read 
simple French with ease and pleasure, and to translate accu- 
rately into good English passages of moderate difficulty. Special 
effort is made to secure a correct pronunciation, and to give an 
intelligent notion of the grammatical structure of the language. 
The aims and methods in the German classes are the same as 
those in the French. 

The course in physics, fully illustrated by lecture table ex- 
periments, explanations and recitations, is designed to give 
clear ideas of the fundamental principles and laws in every 
dejDartment of the subject. This work is supj)lemented by a 
limited number of carefully selected laboratory experiments 
that are performed by all pupils. 

The work in chemistry is adapted to give pupils a tolerably 
comprehensive view of the fundamental facts of the elements 
of inorganic chemistry. The theoretical study and lecture 
table demonstrations are fully illustrated and enforced by indi- 
vidual laboratory work. 

The instruction in both physics and chemistry aims to awaken 
interest in scientific pursuits, and lay a good foundation for 
subsequent work. The thorough courses in these two branches 
are believed to be of greater educational value than short 
courses in a large number of sciences.
